GRMFBS CH199

Zhan Yan stopped checking shortly after he started.

He realized that the current search box method wouldn’t work. Using the Gossip System to search for a specific, feasible solution was as difficult as searching for a website he didn’t know the URL for. He needed the Gossip System to unlock some new functions for him, preferably an upgrade.

But maybe the Gossip System had already upgraded itself?

Previously, when he was preparing to investigate his sister and Infinity, he entered a dream without warning and obtained a massive amount of information like never before. The higher vision of information acquisition he gained in the dream was obviously much more advanced than searching for gossip feeds using the search bar.

Zhan Yan opened the information disk interface. The interface stopped at the starry sky state, and the six sub-columns were temporarily hidden.

When he first opened the Gossip System, this place was just deep darkness. Later, a few lonely stars gradually appeared. Now, it was lit up by dense stars.

Zhan Yan felt very satisfied with this. He closed his eyes and felt himself appearing in the vast sea of stars.

Every little star represented a living being. Zhan Yan found the star representing Yang Ran. This star was now dusty gray, as if covered by a layer of dust, emitting only a tiny bit of almost invisible light.

Zhan Yan poked this star. He remembered that he had grabbed the star representing his sister before, and then he could see a live broadcast related to her.

He felt that besides the live broadcast, he seemed to be able to see more things, but he was too anxious at the time and didn’t pay attention at all.

Zhan Yan decided to try again this time!

He grabbed the star, then felt dizzy and involuntarily exited the sea of stars.

Understood, he overconsumed and his brain wasn’t working well now.

Zhan Yan picked up a bread ball, prepared to continue stuffing himself, and then realized he couldn’t eat anymore.

…Sigh.

Forget it, forget it. He’d rest for a while and digest.

Zhan Yan put away the starry sky state of the information disk and summoned the six information columns again.

He had refreshed many new entries in the event just now; it should be enough to fill up an energy bar for him, right?

Six empty energy bars lay there.

Zhan Yan’s eyes widened.

What happened?! Where is his hard-earned little star progress? Why is it all gone?!

Flip through the gossip feeds!

Before he could flip to the result, the Transcendent Forum suddenly sent a new message notification.

Zhan Yan opened it and saw that it was almost entirely messages from Deep Shadow. Starting from last night, at first it was every few minutes, then every hour. Initially, he asked about the news of the apocalypse bordering, asking if he could confirm the bordering location. But Approaching Science never replied, so Deep Shadow started asking about his situation, asking if he was in trouble.

Unfortunately, there was no other way to contact each other. Deep Shadow had no other way but to ask him every once in a while.

[Deep Shadow suspects that Approaching Science is gone and decides to find someone to investigate Approaching Science’s situation to see if he needs to collect the body and take revenge for Approaching Science.]

Zhan Yan: …

Thank you so much.

Approaching Science: “I’m fine. Something unexpected happened and I couldn’t be reached temporarily.”

Deep Shadow replied very quickly.

I Just Saved the World!: “遇到了麻煩了？ (Encountered trouble?)”

“要幫忙嗎？ (Need help?)”

Approaching Science: “No need.”

Zhan Yan flipped through the gossip feeds and found that the Deep Shadow boss was still cleaning up the apocalyptic projections created by Infinity.

But Infinity’s consciousness had now shrunk back, and the apocalyptic world had also merged into the game world. The projections lost both power support and projection source at the same time, and now they no longer had the power to hurt people. The increasingly blurred phantoms were dissipating.

And Zhan Yan also saw related news: Affected by extreme climate, mirage phenomena appeared in many places.

As for why the scenes of these mirages were so terrifying, it was because the location where the mirages were projected was a horror-themed amusement park set under construction.

This news style looked like it was from the True Science News Agency at first glance.

Zhan Yan kindly reminded Deep Shadow.

Approaching Science: “Those projections have no power anymore. They will dissipate in an hour or so. There is no need to continue cleaning up.”

I Just Saved the World!: “Heh”

Zhan Yan: ???

What illness does Deep Shadow have now?

Heh your head! Go work for nothing then!

Zhan Yan decided to ignore him.

Now the Transcendent Forum was very lively; everyone was discussing what just happened.

{Holy sht holy sht holy sh*t! Can someone explain to me what exactly happened just now?}

Did anyone see those sudden anomalies?

2L:

What sudden anomalies?

LZ:

Go search for the latest news; mirages appeared in many places. Just a few hours ago, and some places still have them now.

This news isn’t very hot. One reason is timely handling, and another is lack of evidence. Only some people claiming to have seen mirages are discussing it, guessing which horror-themed amusement park it is. The setup is too realistic; it looks like a heavy investment.

5L:

Searched and came back, but why are there no photos? Mirages should be able to be photographed.

7L:

Because it’s not a mirage! It’s an anomaly that comes with signal interference!

12L:

I testify, it really is an anomaly, and a particularly twisted kind.

I’m a healing type. A bunch of anomalies suddenly appeared around me; I was almost scared to death. Luckily, the Abnormal Affairs Management Bureau arrived quickly.

16L:

I was luckier; I saw it from afar. At that time, not only did anomalies appear, but space was also distorted, and the surrounding environment suddenly turned into ruins. Like a piece of space was cut directly from somewhere and covered over it.

18L:

So terrifying? What level of anomaly must this be!

19L:

How was it resolved later?

22L:

I don’t know how it was resolved. I just saw the shadow on the ground move, covering that space, and then it returned to normal. No more than two seconds in total.

24L:

Two seconds? Is the Abnormal Affairs Management Bureau that awesome?

30L:

What is going on with these anomalies? So anxious not seeing the scene and having no footage.

33L:

That you have to ask the Abnormal Affairs Management Bureau. @Administrator Domain @Administrator Net @Administrator Won’t Raise Cats Even If I Die

35L:

No, why is everyone discussing anomalies? Did no one notice the change in the sky at that time?

38L:

Yeah yeah. Such a big shadow in the sky at that time, and later it turned into such a big “mirage”.

42L:

There were anomalies in the sky too?!

43L:

No. Sigh, not necessarily. A huge reflection of ruins appeared in the sky, but no anomalies, only ruins.

But such a big “mirage” might be an anomaly too.

48L:

Then what level of anomaly would this be?

54L:

Even A-level anomalies don’t have such a large range of influence, right? The highest anomaly level defined now is A-level. Could it be that a super A-level, S-level is appearing?

55L:

Starting to panic a bit.

56L:

No, did you all see it? Why didn’t I see it? Why didn’t I notice such a big anomalous phenomenon at all?

61L:

Related to location, right? Some places can see it, some places can’t. It can be seen over at Chennan.

65L:

Maybe related to ability direction too. I’m also from Chennan. I was eating mushrooms with my friend at the time. My friend saw it, but I didn’t.

He pointed at the sky with a face full of horror. I saw nothing and thought he was poisoned by eating mushrooms.

Later that pot of mushrooms was thrown away. So heartbroken!

78L “Administrator Domain”:

There is no S-level anomaly. This phenomenon was caused by some special reason and has now been completely resolved. No need to panic.

Some new changes will occur subsequently, but in a good direction.

80L:

@Administrator Domain appeared!

What new changes? Dying of curiosity! Don’t just say half of it!!

86L “Administrator Domain”:

Send me a portion of mushrooms and I’ll tell you.

Nie Yu was joking. Anyway, they didn’t know the address.

The result of the apocalypse bordering was very good; she was in a good mood now.

However, the new changes had indeed been arranged—the new apocalyptic world merged with the game world.

Now this world was between virtual and real, its state unclear. According to the report from the network-type duty personnel monitoring the game world, when the apocalyptic world merged into the game world, the barrier Red Crystal set up outside the game world first faded to pure white, then merged into the game world.

They observed outside the new world. The new world seemed to have no data anymore, and it no longer existed entirely in the network. It just couldn’t be entered yet.

If they wanted to study this world, they probably had to find Wan Shitong and Play Games With Me who built this world back then.

Besides that, they also had to find Rong Sui. She might also have certain authority over this new world.

But Rong Sui slipped away too fast; they didn’t catch anyone.

Vice Director Ning wasn’t anxious. He said Rong Sui would come to find them on her own initiative. Wonder what riddle he was playing.

Nie Yu sighed.

Vice Director Ning wasn’t anxious, but she was! She was extremely curious about that game world now! But she tried; she couldn’t get in!

If it was the previous game world, although there were various protections set up by Wan Shitong and Play Games With Me, she knew from looking at the surface data that she could try to break in.

Now the surface of this new world had nothing, like a smooth, seamless big egg. She couldn’t even find a direction to start.

Nie Yu decided to block people!

Anyway, this was also a task given to her by the bureau. She must take down Wan Shitong and Play Games With Me!

She would guard near the new world; she didn’t believe these two wouldn’t come over!

…

Gu Jiancheng was sulking.

Infinity suffered a big loss in the matter of the apocalypse bordering. But Approaching Science’s attitude was bad!

Bad is bad; he wouldn’t haggle with Approaching Science.

Most importantly, Yan Yan had been so cold to him these two days!

Gu Jiancheng sulkily cleared the remaining apocalyptic projections. He sat in a tree to catch his breath, took out his phone, and subconsciously wanted to find his boyfriend.

His thumb instinctively tapped and swiped on the screen. Before he reacted, the interface had already stopped on Zhan Yan’s phone number.

Can’t call. Yan Yan said he had things to do later when he hung up earlier.

Bao Qingshan proved that Yan Yan was watching a TV drama, but Gu Jiancheng still felt a sense of crisis.

Why could this TV drama make Yan Yan so obsessed?

Gu Jiancheng felt he needed to do some homework to win back his boyfriend’s heart. So he opened the TV drama and started watching.

After twenty minutes of dog-blood plot, Gu Jiancheng began to question life again.

Bad, are his and Yan Yan’s interests and hobbies already so different?

No! He has to try hard to understand! Since Yan Yan was moved to tears, this TV drama must have its excellent points!

The Deep Shadow boss began to seriously study the dog-blood TV drama.
